Prolific singer songwriter Lou Reed passed away this weekend, provoking an outpouring of sympathy from his countless fans. But another Lou, one who was not the well-known frontman for The Velvet Underground, appears to have accidentally been the target of some of that support.

“i have been receiving Tons of condolences because of a Journalist confusing our Identities,” Lou Bega, a German pop singer most famous for his ’90s remake of “Mambo No. 5,” wrote on his Facebook page yesterday. “Lou Bega sends his condolences to mr.Reeds Family.”
